Railroads & Rifles, Soldiers, Technology and the Unification of Germany by Dennis E. Showalter From a review by Robert Citino: Railroads & Rifles, Soldiers, Technology and the Unification of Germany restored respectability to what many disparaged at the time as "drum and trumpet" military history by demonstrating the key role that hardware, doctrine and military planning had played in German Unification... ...No author is so adept at discussing military socialogy, the relationship of armies to the societies that spawn them and the matrix of factors that turns some forces into sharks and other into their bate... ...The payoff of reading Showalter is that you get smarter without even realizing it.
